comments
On Thursday, May 28, Acura will debut the all-new second-generation 2021 TLX. They call it the “quickest, best handling and most well-appointed Acura sedan yet” which sounds pretty fantastic. The TLX was released for the 2015 model year and received a facelift for 2018. So a new model was definitely due, we’re excited to see…

The time Ford built a V8 Supervan on a GT40 chassis

comments
The Ford “Supervan” has decades of history behind it, we already showed you Carfection’s video of the iconic vans. My most recent encounter was winning one on a super wheelspin in Forza Horizon 4, but the Supervan dates back to 1971. Supervan 3 Ford UK built these crazy vans as a series of promotional vehicles,…

Regular Car Reviews examines the Ferrari 575 Maranello

comments
“I want a Dodge Viper… but not American!” What sort of driver desires the Ferrari 575M? Regular Car Reviews attempts to figure that out when it gets some seat time in an example from 2004. And they’ve concluded that if you have one of these in your garage then your house also has a study.…

Lingfenfelter is offering Z06 LT4 engine swaps for Chevy Colorado ZR2 trucks
/
/
comments
The Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 is a great truck. It’s supremely capable right off the dealer’s floor. Both the diesel and gas engine options are enjoyable too. Still, with nearly any vehicle out there it’s easy to consider what more power would feel like. Lingenfelter can answer that question for the Colorado because it’s now offering…

Oldsmobile’s FE3-X Concepts were Unironically Cool

comments
Being an “old person’s car” is a hard image to shake, especially when the name of your brand has the word ‘old’ in it. If you were Oldsmobile in the 1980s and 90s, you could either accept your fate or try something different. Most other GM brands chose the latter. Buick made their GNX, a…

Camel Trophy …Montero? You bet your ass!

comments
If you know anything about the history of Land Rover, you’re well aware of the Camel Trophy. This grueling off-road adventure took place every year from 1980 until 2000, with the exception of no event during 1999. It was a battle of vehicular capability and a wonderful marketing ploy dreamed up by the Camel cigarette…

Love for NASCAR’s Aero Era is Alive and Well

comments
One of my favorite cars, period, is actually two cars. I have this unabashed desire to own either a Dodge Daytona or Plymouth Superbird someday. These cars were built for hot nasty speed during a unique period in NASCAR history. Outright displacement wasn’t the answer for victory. The cars needed something else… and that’s why…

The Subaru XT6 didn’t Inspire Cadillac, but It Might Inspire You
/
/
comments
I’ve been a bit addicted to the MotorWeek Youtube channel lately. In particular, the retro reviews. They reminded me about the Subaru XT6, which in-turn reminded me that Cadillac has a car with the same alphanumeric signature. The Subaru XT6 is a wedge-shaped, four-wheel-drive coupe that, while it may appear to be ‘sporty’, really isn’t.…

Czinger is the Auto Industry’s Cutting-Edge Skunkworks

I think what is so enamoring about the SR-71 Blackbird is really rather simple; it’s the fact that people ‘drove’ it. The reason all Blackbirds are sitting in museums today is because of the advent of spy satellites. They’re cheaper to operate, less vulnerable, and as-capable as the Blackbirds were. Hell, they’re even faster. Most…

The Aston Martin V12 Speedster is Richly Ridiculous
/
/
comments
The Aston Martin Vantage is a pretty damn swell thing. As is the latest Aston Martin DBS Superleggera. Combining the best bits of both cars could also lead to something special. Aston Martin knows this, which is why the V12 Speedster has come to be. But this car isn’t just a mash-up of the two…
